How can i export egg files from blender

how can i export models using the egg file format in blender?

[MottitoRaviolli]

So what I use is the python package blend2bam which transforms .blend files (blender project save files) to .bam files, which I think this same program has the flag to export as .egg format.

pip install blend2bam to get the binary via pip

Yes just checked, theres a pipeline switch to .egg format, though I haven’t tried it before.
but, the same blend2bam package comes with bam2egg which you can use to convert bams to eggs.

There are a few options, depending on your requirements and preferences, I believe!

I put together a quick-reference covering them to the best of my knowledge at time of writing–you should find it here:

Exporting from Blender: A Quick-Reference

This thread, and in particular this first post, is intended to act as a quick-reference for those seeking to export models from Blender. Note that it is not intended as a tutorial–only a guide to some of the options available for exportation, and some of the considerations incurred by each. Further, I personally am not familiar with all options here at time of writing, and so there may be some errors in the below. Please do correct me as called for! Full instructions, guides, or tutorials may …

On the matter of “blend2bam”, note that it exports the entire blend-file, if I’m not much mistaken. If you want to keep multiple models within a single blend-file (e.g. variations of a single prop), or to have working elements within the blend-file that are not to be exported, then it’s a poor choice, I feel.
